Web-Based Library Information System Design

Study at Pasundan 7 Junior High School, Bandung

Abstract

School libraries generally aim to provide information services on borrowing and returning books to students and teachers. The library of Pasundan 7 Bandung Junior High School has a large collection of books, both in the form of textbooks, collections of questions, magazines and newspapers. However, this library has not been well managed because all activities still use manual methods and do not have good documentation. This can be seen from the way students experience difficulties  when  looking  for the desired  book,  then the process of  recording borrowing and returning books that are still manual so that it takes a long time and the data storage is not guaranteed, the number of scattered records that confuse officers when matching data to make reports, because it is only stored in the form of ordinary archives that are easily lost. Therefore, a web-based library information system is needed at Pasundan 7 Bandung Junior High School. The Library Information System of SMP Pasundan 7 Bandung aims to assist library staff in minimizing service time with the help of computerized transactions, especially in  book loan  and  return  transactions.  In designing  an  information system, all data related to the library is stored  in a file warehouse called  a database. To produce a good and correct database, it is necessary to carry out system design stages. The goal is to produce good data input. This Final Project discusses the design of creating a web-based information system, which can assist library  staff  in  the  process  of  delivering  library  information  at  Pasundan  7

Bandung Junior High School. This research focuses on designing a library information system in a school environment. The purpose of this research is to change the pattern of conventional services into computerization to facilitate data management in book borrowing and returning transactions in preventing data loss.  The  research  method  used  is  descriptive  analysis  method,  which  is  a research  method  that  tries  to  describe  the  object  or  subject  under  study objectively, and aims to describe the facts systematically and the characteristics of the object and the frequency studied precisely. Information system design is built using the waterfall method. Or through sequential stages in the hope of producing a design that is in accordance with the existing target needs. Data collection methods by means of interviews and direct observation. The results showed that using a computerized system is much more effective than the conventional way and even more efficient. The effectiveness of implementing a web-based Library Information System at Pasundan 7 Bandung Junior High School can be seen from the service process carried out.
